Major Capital Investment and Facilities Upgrade for Mocksville

More than $7 million in new state-of-the-art production equipment is
to be commissioned before the end of 2010 at Ingersoll Rand's
Industrial Technologies facility in Mocksville N.C. The new equipment
will dramatically improve productivity and capacity.

The majority of the investment, over $5 million dollars, will
support growth within the centrifugal air compressor business. “Our
customers will see significant improvement in our speed and
flexibility as a result of this new equipment,” says Mocksville Plant
Manager Phil Wekenmann. “This is another major step to ensure that
Mocksville maintains the status of a world-class manufacturing
facility well into the future.”

Six highly automated machining centers will be installed, including
precision five-axis type and rotary profile grinders. Five-axis
machining centers are capable of producing all horizontal turning and
milling operations in one setting, which greatly reduces setup time,
while improving accuracy and throughput.

The equipment will be used to manufacture critical components,
such as impellers and hydrodynamic bearings, that are used in the
final assembly of centrifugal compressors. By expanding machining
capabilities, our company will derive a number of benefits, including:

increased flexibility to support growth and production
needs

reduced lead times for critical components and spare
parts

improved production yield

The Mocksville facility produces rotary and centrifugal air
compressors as well as service parts. Opened in 1965, the factory
occupies an area of over 400,000 square feet and has more than 380 employees.
